Staunton's loss, Blue Light's gain

Saw this in an email from Ian Boden today:

I know I've been pretty secretive as to what was next for me after closing The Staunton Grocery. It is very important that I continue the work that I started here in Central Virginia, and in doing so, I wanted to make sure that the place I landed was going to live up to the expectations that I'd set over the past five years. Well, I pretty sure you won't be disappointed, with what I've been up to. The beginning of last month I took over as Executive Chef at Blue Light Grill on the downtown mall in Charlottesville, bringing all the great farmers, wonderful products and creativity with me. I truly look forward to cooking for all of you again, and building on what you helped me accomplish in the years past.

This is GREAT news. Blue Light Grill has a super location, but the menu has always been somewhat less than enticing - and that's coming from someone who adores seafood. Can't wait to go now!

Lori K's Cafe delivers!

All about ...

I love photographing the world around me, whether cooking, working in the yard or traveling. I reviewed cookbooks, and reported and photographed my trips and wilderness adventures for The Sacramento Bee newspaper, where I was a copy editor and page designer for 21 years. // I've been cooking for large groups of people since I was in college. // I love learning and writing about food, and bettering my photography skills. // I currently live in Charlottesville, VA. // Questions?
